Links to recordings
The internet has no shortage of... anything. There are multiple versions of most of this music available, so if I can save you some time in searching, here is some recommended listening.
-
Sure on this shining night — LA Master Chorale. Incredible performance!
-
How to sing like a planet — Massachusetts All-State Choir
-
Moonglow — the best option is probably the demo on Darmon Meader's website
-
Choose something like a star — you're usually in good hands with the Atlanta Master Chorale
-
Abendfriede — I'm not committing to their choice of tempo, but this recording is sung by Germans
-
Light of a clear blue morning — I will confess that more and more these days I struggle with listening to music just for the simple joy of listening to music. It's usually connected to work in some capacity. But when I came across this recording by Conspirare, I just played and played it on repeat. Gives me the tingles every time. This kind of warmth and solace and hope is what I hope our audience will leave with.
